1. 0dB INPUT: The signal output from an instrument (active or passive â typically passive) or a line level signal may be connected here by means of a shielded instrument cable. The signal at this jack is sent into the preamp at full amplitude. 2. -15dB INPUT: The signal output from an instrument (active or passive â typically active) or a line level signal may be connected here by means of a shielded instrument cable. The signal at this jack is reduced 15dB before it is sent into the preamp. 3. MUTE: This switch, when depressed, mutes all outputs except the Tuner Out (28). This is excellent for tuning your bass with an electronic tuner without having to adjust any levels or turn down your stage volume. 4. COMBINE: This switch, when depressed, allows the clean channel to remain active when the overdrive channel is selected, combining the two channels to create a different-sounding âthird channel.â CLEAN CHANNEL: 5. VOLUME: This control adjusts the output level for the clean channel and the input to the Octave circuit (16). Adjust this control no higher than that which causes the Peak/Mute LED (6) to flash on strong signal peaks. 6. PEAK/MUTE LED: This LED flashes when the signal level in the preamp approaches clipping. When the Mute switch (3) is depressed, this LED remains illuminated until the Mute is turned off. 7. STYLE: This five-position switch allows you to vary the tone of the clean channel. The following table lists each of the different settings â experiment with the Style and other EQ controls for the results which suit you best.
POSITION 1: POSITION 2: POSITION 3: POSITION 4: Fully âscoopedâ mids (mid cut) Traditional passive tone setting Basically flat Boosted high end

11. CHANNEL SELECT: This switch selects the clean channel in the out position and the overdrive channel when depressed. OVERDRIVE CHANNEL: 12. OD BOOST: This switch, when depressed, adds gain and tone shaping to the overdrive channel signal for heavy overdrive. 13. GAIN: This control sets the level of the signal entering the preamp stage. 14. STYLE: This five-position switch allows you to vary the tone of the overdrive channel. The following table lists each of the different settings â experiment with the Style control for the results which suit you best.
POSITION 1: POSITION 2: POSITION 3: POSITION 4: POSITION 5: Mid cut â for clean to semi-overdriven sound Slight mid cut Basically flat High end roll-off Large mid peak tailored for heavily overdriven sound combined with the clean channel

15. VOLUME: This control adjusts the output level for the overdrive channel. 16. OCTAVE VOLUME: This control adjusts the output level for an added signal which is one octave lower than the instrumentâs original signal. This signal is dependent on the clean channelâs Volume control (5) and can be switched by the Octave footswitch (31). The effectiveness of this signal depends on playing style, pickup selection, and neck position. 17. FX BLEND: This control varies the mix between the direct (dry) signal and the effects (wet) when the effects loop (26,27) is used. Full counterclockwise results in all direct signal (no effect) and full clockwise gives all effect and no direct signal. The clockwise position is equivalent to a series effects loop and should be used with such devices as limiters and equalizers. 18. MASTER: This control sets the overall output level of the amplifier. 19. OD/CLEAN LEDS: The red LED (âOD,â upper) illuminates when the overdrive channel is selected, while the green LED (âCLEAN,â lower) illuminates when the clean channel is selected. 20. POWER: This heavy-duty rocker switch applies AC power to the amplifier. The amp is ON when the top of the switch is depressed, OFF when the bottom of the switch is depressed.

POSITION 5: Basically flat with low end roll-off â for loud playing without âmuddinessâ

8. BASS: This is the primary low frequency control which has a range of 22dB @ 50Hz. 9. ULTRA MID: This is the primary midrange control which has a range of 13dB @ 250Hz. 10. TREBLE: This is the primary high frequency control which has a range of 22dB @ 8kHz.
